Hilda L. Solis: “During these delicate times of instability, I do not believe that this Congress should be voting on a resolution…”

On the recordMay 2, 2002
During these delicate times of instability, I do not believe that this Congress should be voting on a resolution regarding the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories. I believe that this resolution we are debating today--H. Res. 392-- does not serve any great purpose but only serves to undermine the Administration's efforts to negotiate a peaceful settlement to the conflict in the Middle East. Our overall mission should be a resolution to the fighting; debating this measure at this time does not accomplish that mission.
